This category collects botany questions covering the study of plants, from cell structure and tissue organisation to physiology, reproduction, genetics and ecology. Use it to test what you remember, spot weak topics and build accuracy before an exam.

45 questions

What is the mode of nutrition in Kingdom Animalia?

Kingdom Animalia members exhibit holozoic nutrition, which involves ingestion and internal digestion. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Biology - Botany portion covering relevant concept, Topic: Plant structure, physiology and applications.

Which of the following genetic disorders follows a Y-linked inheritance pattern?

Hypertrichosis (hairy ears) follows a Y-linked inheritance pattern, as the gene is located on the Y chromosome and is only passed from father to son. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Biology - Botany portion covering relevant concept, Topic: Plant structure, physiology and applications.

Which of the following is incorrect about crossing over in meiosis?

Crossing over occurs during pachytene of prophase I, not in metaphase II. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Select the correct statement about plant hormones:

Abscisic acid induces seed dormancy, helping seeds survive unfavorable conditions. Cytokinins promote, not inhibit, ll division, and ethylene promotes, not delays, fruit ripening.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Biology - Botany portion covering relevant concept, Topic: Plant structure, physiology and applications.

What is the function of NADH and FADH₂ in llular respiration?

NADH and FADH₂ donate electrons to the Electron Transport Chain, leading to ATP production through oxidative phosphorylation. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Biology - Botany portion covering relevant concept, Topic: Plant structure, physiology and applications.

Which of the following is true about the S phase of interphase?

During the S phase, DNA is replicated, doubling the chromosome content of the ll but not the chromosome number. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Biology - Botany portion covering relevant concept, Topic: Plant structure, physiology and applications.

Which genetic condition is caused by the deletion of a portion of chromosome 5?

Cri-du-chat syndrome is caused by a deletion in the short arm of chromosome 5, leading to developmental abnormalities. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Biology - Botany portion covering relevant concept, Topic: Plant structure, physiology and applications.

Which of the following is a correct statement about ecosystem services?

Ecosystem services such as water purification, nutrient cycling, and climate regulation are crucial for both ecosystems and human survival. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Biology - Botany portion covering relevant concept, Topic: Plant structure, physiology and applications.

Which part of a dicot seed is responsible for food storage?

In dicot seeds like gram and pea, the cotyledons store food and provide nourishment to the embryo. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Biology - Botany portion covering relevant concept, Topic: Plant structure, physiology and applications.

Which structure in dicot roots stores food?

The cortex of dicot roots consists of parenchymatous lls that store food and nutrients. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Biology - Botany portion covering relevant concept, Topic: Plant structure, physiology and applications.

Which type of population growth is represented by an S-shaped curve?

Logistic growth is represented by an S-shaped curve, where population growth slows as it nears carrying capacity. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.
